Mu opioid receptors in developing human spinal cord.
The distribution of mu opioid receptors was studied in human fetal spinal cords between 12-13 and 24-25 wk gestational ages. Autoradiographic localisation using [3H] DAMGO revealed the presence of mu receptors in the dorsal horn at all age groups with a higher density in the superficial laminae (I-II). A biphasic expression was noted. Receptor density increased in the dorsal horn, including the...
متن کاملExpression of opioid receptor-like 1 (ORL1) & mu opioid receptors in the spinal cord of morphine tolerant mice.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE The mechanism underlying the development of tolerance to morphine is not clearly understood though a number of factors have been implicated. One of the likely factors may be increased activity of anti-opioid peptides like nociceptin (also known as orphanin FQ or N/OFQ). N/OFQ and morphine bind to opioid receptor-like 1 (ORL1) receptor and muopioid receptor respectively. T...
متن کاملDelta opioid receptor enhancement of mu opioid receptor-induced antinociception in spinal cord.
Although the mu selective agonist [D-Ala2-MePhe4-Gly-ol5]enkephalin (DAMGO) and the delta selective agonist [D-Pen2,D-Pen5]enkephalin (DPDPE) are both antinociceptive when administered directly into the spinal cord of mice, 50% of antinociceptive dose (AD50) of DAMGO is about 2 orders of magnitude lower than the AD50 of DPDPE. In contrast, the two ligands show similar affinities for their respe...
متن کاملActivation of Mu or Delta Opioid Receptors in the Lumbosacral Spinal Cord Is Essential for Ejaculatory Reflexes in Male Rats
Ejaculation is controlled by a spinal ejaculation generator located in the lumbosacral spinal cord, consisting in male rats of lumbar spinothalamic (LSt) cells and their inter-spinal projections to autonomic and motor centers. LSt cells co-express several neuropeptides, including gastrin releasing peptide (GRP) and enkephalin. We previously demonstrated in rats that GRP regulates ejaculation by...
متن کاملLoss of TRPV1-expressing sensory neurons reduces spinal mu opioid receptors but paradoxically potentiates opioid analgesia.
Systemic administration of resiniferatoxin (RTX), an ultrapotent capsaicin analogue, removes transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1)-expressing afferent neurons and impairs thermal but not mechanical nociception in adult animals. In this study, we determined how loss of TRPV1-expressing sensory neurons alters the antinociceptive effect of mu opioids and mu opioid receptors in the ...
